I said from jump, NO way both of them touch the floor. After last night and seeing how much tact Flynn has I will take him over Rubio anyday.....


As far as Chad Ford, dude is an idiot. He probably said Jennings is a team first guy too

 

[bhzmafia14]

now imagine this was your grizz's pick that you were so positive about.
With a 4 million dollar first year rookie salary, he would've been in a better position in terms of his buyout situation. He probablywould've pulled the same stunt with us, but monetary wise he would've been in a better situation.

These experts don't watch the games. We both know his game from watching first hand his two years at 'Cuse.

JaysforDays,

You're a moron. No one thought Harris was going to get drafted. Wouldn't be surprised if Minny signs him as a FA.

 

[thezephyr777]

Like the Harden pick. Never liked Mullens, but it will be ok

 

[jamesonnt]

Danny Green
AJ Price
2 kids from Long Island drafted

 

[biggie62]

I sat Jennings barely plays. Skiles won't let him touch the floor unless he plays D. I see lots of fines and bench time for him

Now for the Knicks. They picked the best player that was available to him. But I still wished they'd move up to get Evans or Rubio.

 

[tupac003]

I like the Spurs pick of Blair. Seems like he would fit right in with the Spurs.

 

[q46tothee]

Skiles is gonna end up punching Brandon Jennings in the face.

@ the Wizards getting an "A" (no Juelz) from Chad Ford for essentially doing nothing....that tells you how bad this draft was.

 

[nikeairbound]

Is Sacramento the new favorite for the John Wall sweepstakes? They don't have a good point guard and they're not very good.

I think Evans is a good PG prospect. I dunno what you are talking about.

Depending on the Amare and Nash situations, along with other acquisitons in general, I'm going to say the Suns have a good shot at getting #1next year. However, they'll have to give up their pick to the Thunder I believe

You really see the Suns being worse than the wolves?....I dunno Kings and Wolves both look like mediocre college teams

 

[jpzx]

Our starting lineup...(knowing that Rubio, Flynn and Ellington won't start right away)

PG- Telfair
SG- Carney? (We literally have no SGs on the roster)
SF- Brewer
PF- Love
C- Jefferson

 

[bangdak]

^hughes+jefferies for rubio+cash.
jefferies can play the 5, moving al to the 4, making love expendable since love and al play horrendous together.

Flynn can start right away IMO but at this point its safer to have Telfair start. I like Telfair's game and hopefully he worked on his jumpshot during theoffseason.

Trade away Rubio for future picks. Boy acting like a diva, threatening to go back to Spain for three years. Playing in the NBA is a privilege. Go back to yourinferior league. He wasn't NBA ready anyway.

That what i dont understand. The wolves have clearly been garbage since garnett left. Now you draft 2 of the best true PGs in this draft, only tohave them come off the bench or not even play? They have a top pick almost every year and constantly %%!# it up. Rubio is doing the right thing, it doesntmatter what # you are drafted, it matters what team you play for and where you best fit. The money will come either way. The kid DOES NOT want to play there,and yet you still draft him and are NOT trading him. The twolves are a joke and like i said will continue to be a garbage team for the next decade.. Imaginethe hornets were in the wolves situation and drafted chris paul and deron williams (no i'm not comparing anyone to anyone, just saying drafting the 2 bestPGs available in the draft) then obviously their careers wont be anywhere as good as it is today. Hmmm telfair, ollie, rubio, flynn yea great %!+++%% job minny

 

[kix4kix]

Ollie is not coming back. Flynn WILL start right away, and who needs a SG this year? SG's come a dime a dozen in the NBA. Wolves will be fine. I am aknicks fan but damn why ya'll so salty all the time

ya'll thread is full of $%+$ the wolves, and $%+$ golden state. Get over it, wolves have thebest pg in the draft in flynn, and are on track to building around Jefferson. I would even trade Rubio to the Clips for Kahman, and their first rounder nextyear. $%+$ Rubio.

^ We drafted (key word: drafted) Ricky Rubio, Jonny Flynn, Ty Lawson, and Nick Calathes.

We drafted Ty Lawson for Denver, and we traded Calathes to Dallas.

How is this the right thing? He's only putting himself in jeopardy. Who knows how things will pan out for him if he goes back The money won't justcome either. If he goes back for about 2-3 years and Minnesota still hold his rights, what he is going to do? If he doesn't come back to the NBAdominating, he's still going to be mediocre and not receive a big contract.

@$%! what a 19-year old kid wants. He needs to realize that this is a business. There's just no way around it how he's acting. Just think of all thegreat players that have been drafted in the past few years. They could've easily cried and said they didn't want to play for a certain city because allof them didn't go to the damn Bahamas.

They still get paid if theycome in and earn their contract.

These european players sometime

Ellington can start from day 1. He may have trouble guarding more physical 2's, but he has the ability to score, shoot

Yes i know you moved the other two. But the point is you wasted 3 of your picks. You will suck and ruin the careers of all your players. No onewants to play in minnesota.
